"As a revenue commissioner, I will be able to go home every night and be home with my family. That means a lot at this point in our lives, as our children are getting older and getting involved in sports and things of that nature," McGill said.

McGill aims to fill the seat held by current Jackson County Revenue Commissioner Ron Crawford, who announced in January he would no longer be running after 30 years in office.

Primaries are set for June 3. McGill will run against Republicans Kermit Cornelison and Kathy Thompson, as well as current Deputy Revenue Commissioner Jeff Arnold, running on the Democratic ticket.
